There are apartments in the city center which are under $450 per week, these are usually furnished and have functional kitchenette. Regarding service apartments, have you tried to call them and mentioned about renting for more than 1 week (or whatever timeframe you were looking for), as you can negotiate with longer term rent.
With cricket worldcup fever, I wont be surprised if the hotels are fully booked. Another option would be to book motel which are relatively cheaper to hotels but my personal choice would always be renting an apartment.
